Can users choose how much they want to pay?

Typically, pricing is set by the publisher. Each piece of content—an article, video, or download—has a fixed price that you define. However, Supertab also supports dynamic pricing (or "pay what you want") through the Create a One-Time Offering Merchant API Call, which allows you to generate a custom, one-time purchase link at any price you or your user chooses.

This method gives users flexibility to pay what they want. Note: you’ll need to handle your own entitlement checks (using the Customer API). Supertab won’t automatically grant access the way it does with standard offerings.

Fixed Pricing

Pros

  • Simple setup with automatic entitlement handling.
  • Predictable revenue per transaction.
  • Clear and consistent experience for users.

Cons

  • Less flexibility for user-driven or donation-based pricing.
  • May deter impulse purchases if the price feels too rigid.

User Selected Pricing

Pros

  • Enables “pay-what-you-want” or donation-style models.
  • Lets you test different pricing strategies or reward loyal users.
  • Can boost user engagement by giving them control over value.

Cons

  • You must perform entitlement checks and manage access manually.
  • Pricing outcomes are unpredictable and require more testing.
  • Some users may underpay without clear guidance or suggested ranges.
